[ROOT] TF101 ICS from OTA

[PatrikSelin]

You're welcome #1

And, You need to install recovery. I am only putting up the new root method. I planned to make a auto-recovery installer. but, no one has donated a cent. So, this is how it will stay.

I find this: Recovery Installer - flash CWM with a Click but the download link is dead. How to do it otherwise?

help rooting

Hi all, I just got a TF101 last week, which is a B70 model.

I upgraded to ICS yesterday and can't root it.

I also tried rooting before ICS, which also didn't work.

I've tried the Brk Root Toolkit 7.1, NachoRoot, [ROOT] TF101 ICS from OTA, and RazorClaw one click.

None have worked.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but with four attempts using different instructions, it just doesn't seem possible.

Anyone else managed to get rooted on B70 model? Anyone tried rooting after the new ICS?

Hi there,. For Linux, does your script run stand alone or does it need the Android SDK installed ? Also. does it just provide root and nothing else?

I had been waiting for the ICS FOTA to root my tablet... The windows method worked great!

Hello,

You just need the adb binary for linux and define the location in the runme.sh

Please take a read of the runme.sh

Thanks

This works for B80 version as well?

 

[thebadfrog]

Cool... well too bad it doesn't work for me. I just flashed a ROM and got over it.

I went from stock nvflash and OTA updated to ICS then ran your script verbatim on a linux laptop following the precise steps... so, maybe they moved the busybox location? dunno, dont care... good luck with your donations.

Its for the prime but it claims to root the tf101 as well. Try that if your having problems with this method

The Asus backup App fails everytime on mine. I installed the PC Sync tool and got it connected to no avail. Trying this method now: http://androidroot.mobi/technical/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-root-cwm-recovery/

Note yon't need the full SDK if you already have ADB from this thread's zip... just point your cmd to that folder and unzip the new files there and run. I am waiting to see if it works right now.

This may work on the PRIME as well. I have no "retail" Unit to test on.

If anyone has a prime. Please test.

I can gladly confirm that the windows version works. I was a little confused by the instruction to "1. Open the ASUS backup utility and back up any small app" but turns out it refers to the "App Backup" found in the app drawer of the tablet and from there you just have to pick any app to backup and then do the same process with the same app the next step.

Correct.

Glad it works.

Using the windows version, I had issues with adb just sitting waiting for the device. (was at work so didn't have access to my linux machines).

Then I replaced the adb binary with the one from the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (adb-toolkit.exe). Simply copy and rename. Then it all worked.

Don't ask me why it didn't work with the other one...
